Exercising When Sick
So last Tuesday I got strep throat. Then this past weekend I got the flu. I haven't been to the gym in a week today so I feel gross. I was just wondering if anyone knew if it is bad to go to the gym when you have been sick? I am feeling much better today, but I don't want to make anything worse.

My doctor told me that I would be in good health…

What am I doing wrong
I am eating the proper amount of calories. The base is 1200 then I add whatever I burn while exercising. I exercise 5-7 days per week for 1/2 to 1 hour. The scale moved 1 pound since 3/09/08. I have only lost 1.5 inches on waist, 1 in on hips, nothing on arms and 1.5 on thighs. I should be noticing a difference but I am…

That was brutal!
I tried going to one of those Mom's Movies at a local theater....they start at 10 am and the lights are dimmed instead of off and they have changing tables, etc. It's very cool.....so, I took my 17 1/2 month old. NOT A GOOD IDEA!! He is all about exploring and climbing and being independent. All he wanted to do was climb…

Eating less than BMR!?!?!
So, when I joined, I rated myself as "lightly active" and set a goal of losing 1 lb a week (MFP gave me a goal of 1800 cal a day). However, the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I really am not that active some days. So I decided to play around with my goals and see what it told me. "sedentary" and a goal…

Remembering my rewards
